Description

The year 2021 stand out with a generalized delay in the development of the successive cycles of the vine. Regular and cyclical rainfall, cold during flowering and conditions for the development of diseases immediately led to a significant reduction in production, which was compounded by very long heat waves during July to September.
However, the grapes that were harvested at the end of September were of an exemplary quality that allowed us to be very positive about the quality of the wines, which is why we expect 2021 to be an absolutely exceptional year in both whites and reds. During vinification, there is skin maceration for 12 hours, followed by alcoholic fermentation at 16ºC, using only the purest tear must.
Bacalhoa Bical Bairrada Clássico White 2021 is made exclusively from grapes of the Bical variety. 60% of the wine in new, 1-year-old French oak barrels, which are battonaged (stirring the fine lees to increase the wine’s flavor structure) for 6 months. Aged for 12 months in bottle.
